WHY ELIAS JOINED THE ANC YOUTH LEAGUE Listening text WHY ELIAS JOINED THE ANC YOUTH LEAGUE I know you wonder why I could not get a job I liked, and why I had to have a passbook at all. The passbook had your name, age, a dress and your birthplace.

Without this passbook I was not allowed to travel in South Africa at all, and if the police found me without it or if I was living in the wrong town, I could be put in prison or sent back to the countryside where I was born. I did not want that so I went to see Nelson Mandela.

I could not do many jobs because of my poor education I could not do many jobs because of my poor education. At that time, most black children did not use their school years well. Most had to leave school without finishing primary school. When I left school, I wanted to work in a gold mine, where black people are well paid.

But I was not old enough so I had to waited till I was older to become a real miner. The mines used black workers to dig gold from the ground. The white workers sat in offices but black South Africans worked hard underground digging for the gold. And we could not live with our families like the white people did.

We had to live in large rooms with beds placed like the desks in a classroom. I had no wife or children but I still did not want to live with my workmates. I hope to live in a home of my own, but that was not allowed for black workers.

I joined the ANC Youth League because it wanted the same rights for black and white people in south Africa. The white people could live where they liked. They owned almost all the land in South Africa though they were fewer in numbers than black people.

They had the best schools. They had the best doctors They had the best schools. They had the best doctors. They could make the laws. We wanted to be the same and equal to the white people in our own land.
